Thanks to all for your input, I do agree that the 1878 marriage is the wrong one. Not sure of the 1881 census info but I think that could be wrong too will have a study

Could it be then that the 1871 census I found for Emily is in fact WRONG and hence the baptism and birth for the in 1867 is also wrong.

Could it be that my Emily birth was not registered?

Also could you be baptised before a birth was registered?

I shall really have to look at this now in case I have made a major error.

Hi John,

I think what you have to do is give us the information that leads to an Emily in your tree or is she a red herring?

If you do have a Daff/Wilkin connection I can probably help but lets wait until I get back home on Wednesday.

John and Elaine, your original marriage is the correct one. The 1878 marriage is also correct, following the death of Sarah in 1876.
Wendy made it clear that Henry must have lied about his age (31)at the 1878 marriage because in 1881 census he is 39.
